The music that plays in the background reminds the viewer of a journey to success, almost triumphal type music. The editing of Triumph of the Will is remarkable because it is very clean and produces “formal levels of the notion of intricate mechanisms”…

Cities Make Us Smarter Triumph of the City, written by Edward Glaeser, dives into the topic of cities and how they have transformed and shaped our lives.

As preposterous as that statement might seem, it is one Edward Glaeser and I, both believe to be true.

This is definitely the inclination the American public probably had, especially the Trump supporters, when each media master was demonstrated totally wrong and put in his and her place. The election result shattered the myth of the media's omnipotence whose astounding self-absorbed attitude, armed with their 21st-century statistical righteousness, failed to…
